Tingtoeng 126

1 Tangtlaeng laa BOEIPA loh Zion hlangsol te ham mael puei vaengah mang man bangla ka om uh.

“A song of the degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

2 Te vaengah mamih ka ah nueihbu neh mamih lai ah tamlung khaw bae. Te dongah namtom taengah, “He he aka saii ham khaw BOEIPA tah khuet pai,” a ti uh.

Then shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

3 Mamih ham aka saii BOEIPA he a khuet dongah kohoe la ng'om uh.

Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

4 BOEIPA aw kaimih thongtla thongla te tuithim kah sokca bangla mael sak lah.

Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

5 Mikphi neh aka tawn rhoek loh tamlung neh a ah uh ni.

Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

6 Cet rhoe cet tih rhah doeah cangtii rhovoep aka phuei tah a cangpa pawn doela tamlung neh ha mael rhoe ha mael ni.

He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.
